The folks who want to stockpile military style weapons do not merely "understand the limitations of government." It's more like, "We reserve the right to take up arms in acts of treasonous insurrection against a government legitimately elected in accordance with the Constitution of the United States of America."
That's Eric Rudolph, Timothy McVeigh bullshit.

I'm not a gung ho anti gun person. I believe in the Castle Doctrine, and even think that folks should be allowed to have a sawed off shotgun for home protection as well as a handgun. I am very pro hunting, even though I don't hunt myself, but the NRA supports the fringe of gun nuts--those who keep guns to defend themselves from the "jack-booted thugs," which really means Federal Marshals, the FBI and the ATF.
There was one story I read about a gun shop owner who was no longer going to sell assault rifles. He said the decision might well cost him his business, but after Newtown he could not in good conscience sell AR-15s and the like. I think that if a gun shop or two in each metro area were to come out publicly with that policy, then hunters and regular gun owners who want a gun for personal protection or sport could feel good about patronizing that business, knowing that they weren't supporting a shop that endorses traitors to make a buck.
It's like this; no one but kooky "animal rights" fruitcakes wants to ban legitimate hunting weapons. Most non-gun owners, like myself, fully support the right of responsible citizens to keep guns for defense against home invaders,and store owners to have guns to protect their businesses. We also support the possession of assault weapons by active members of state militias (the National Guard) and military reservists. We want to see our state and local police better armed than gangsters.
Many folks who support concealed carry only support the "right" to own assault weapons because they feel that the traitors are natural allies against any expansion of handgun control.

For every Switzerland, there are far more Somalias and Afghanistans. With all those exclamation marks, that looks like something written by [a certain poster to this newsgroup], except he isn't a gun nut. Switzerland is unique.

Tell me I'm wrong. Make a case for rapid fire semi-automatics with large magazines. Tell me that there is no connection between the "slave patrol" racists of the 18th and 19th centuries and the circumstances in which Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis were killed by White vigilantes. Tell me, and everyone else, that the deaths of the children in Newtown represent the cost of freedom.
